We got our best cat, Buddy, when the owners tossed her out because their new baby was allergic. Buddy started sleeping on our porch, coming in for snacks…. We finally asked and they said, “He’s YOURS now!” Fifteen years later we put him to sleep sobbing for our little love, Buddy…. But he had the best life and gave US the best life. Strays and adoptees are the best!

[@SeattleRaindrop206]

Cheers 🥂 to Buddy! Thank you for sharing his story with us. You sound like my type of people!😻🫶

My late girl, Sox, was dumped in downtown Atlanta, and the vet near us picked her up when she came right up to him. Ferals/strays don't do that. She was six months old and terrified. We kept her indoors, loved and spoiled her rotten. It took her two years to warm up to us, trust and love us. We had her for 17 years until cancer forced us to put her to sleep. I still miss her. I have a new love, Babette; adopted at five months, she's five now, a Siamese mix. I love her just as much as my late girl, just differently. How anyone can dump, abandon precious animals is beyond me.

I'm sorry he's gone but glad he had the best life from you thank you

[@squonk2902]

It's absolutely a tragedy when our pets leave us but a greater tragedy would be if they were never a part of our lives at all.

[@deborahpensa5211]

One night my father went out and when he opened his car door a dog jumped in the front seat. She would not get out and it was dark so he brought her home. Her owner was never found -- she was probably abandoned. We kept her and had her for 17 years. She was the best dog and we loved her so much. Her name was Brownie.

She left her former humans for a reason. So glad she found you❤️

[@GODDESS1966]

Yes, I thought the exact same thing. Poor baby was so thin. If she loved her original owners, she would not have left daily to seek out a new family.

[@suemccann2010]

Yes I agree! Some should never own a pet. I'm glad she found them too,what a sweetheart 💖

[@Milesco]

Yeah, the former custodians did not appreciate her, that's for sure. But it worked out okay in the end. 😊

[@peyotecowboy3199]

I got my cat Andromeda the same way. I'd seen her outside around my duplex a few times so I started feeding her. Once I got her comfortable enough to come inside for a bit I started asking around the neighborhood. Turns out one of her owners had died and the other went into a retirement home so I guess they just let her loose. So after a vet visit and checkup I officially adopted her and she's lounging on the window lounger behind me as I type this.

[@lilme2me]

Glad y'all found each other. Love her name, too.

[@aishamoss4413]

Pretty sure that’s the cat distribution system. What a great story. Have a nice day.❤

[@Al_Ghifari_Al_Kinani]

Something similar happened to me years ago. I was a dog person until this little, worn out kitten walked through our open living room door and fell asleep on the carpet in front of me. It too refused to leave, and nobody came around to claim it. That kitten became my best friend, and we used to play soccer together in my house, and it was fearless---to the surprise of many dogs that came close to our property. I have had several great cat members of my family since, but Chou chou was exceptional. May he rest in peace!

[@_Shadoh_]

It always makes me so happy reading stories like this 😍 I love both, cats and dogs, very very much! So if someone who claims to be a "dog person" opens their heart to a cat/kitten it's so beautiful! Cats are so sweet and loving, they just show it in different ways than dogs, but they also deserve much love and good care. All the best to you and your animals! 😊

[@HeavyChevy]

Looks like Mama bear made the right choice, she found herself a great family. Thank you for adopting mama bear and for taking such good care of her. 🙏🏻💕

[@mothman1984]

If an uninvited guest as cute as this came to my house you best believe they ain't leaving 💯😂 Bless this family for giving this beautiful dog a loving home 💙🐕💫

[@BigDaddyJinx]

Animals pick their humans. 100%.

[@cookiedee8473]

She was literally a gift left at their doorstep. Sweet girl😊🐾❤

[@dad4ever-c90]

Some people view their pets as THINGS or a form of entertainment, like a TV. Perhaps that was Mama Bear's situation with the other family. It's great to see her happily integrated into your family and home!

[@bluejedi723]

animals have a wide range of complex emotions and personality's. I swear we don't deserve them.

[@avadea369]

​@@bluejedi723 yeah, most of us anyway

[@MLIrons]

I love how the Jane said, "She's destroying the door now." and gave the parent look of, "It is a good thing I love you wild child." You know its love when you can live with the not so pleasant realities of the other being.

[@quicksilver3x3]

Mama Bear knew where her proper home was...not with those people who didn't care about her. What a nice couple, I'm so glad they got to keep her!

[@shirley9240]

She deserves to be with you, loved, respected and happy and not with people who obviously neglected her. You are angels. Thank you!

[@amandaphillips4344]

All animals are special but when we get chosen by a furbaby,it's extra special💝I got chosen by my dog almost 17 yrs ago❤

[@_Shadoh_]

You're right that all animals are special, but I still hate ticks and fleas with a passion and am scared of some spiders😄

[@welcometoSunnydale291]

The world needs more warm loving people like this couple. Mama Bear hit the jackpot and she deserves it.

[@carlberg7503]

Beautiful pup + kind humans = heartwarming story. Thanks for starting my day with a smile. Dogs do choose their favorite humans. Mama Bear was lucky. She hit the jackpot with the family that adopted her.

[@user-ch6wo6fi3y]

This happened to us. We were determined not to get a dog again after having so many in the past. Then a stray pup about 3-4 months old came to our door. It would sit on the porch and when neighbors walked their dogs, it would go with them, but when they were done, he was back on our porch. Sometimes neighbors would bring him to the door and tell us they’d found our dog. Finally, we gave in. When we took him to the vet to see if he was chipped, the vet said he could tell from his behavior and scars that he’d been beaten so we decided not to try and find the previous owners, and he was one of the best dogs we ever had. He died from heart problem’s related to being on that great grain-free diet dog food makers are advertising to make money, not because it’s good for dogs.

One of my all time favorite rescues, and I have had only rescues, was a dog I found in a park behind my Mom's place by the park. I only saw her thru the bushes for the longest time and left her water and food. It took four weeks for her to follow me into her yard and she was mine. I was there taking care of Mom and after she passed she moved with me to Whidbey Island and became a large (100 lbs!) personality in my little town here. She passed on the porch about 4 years ago, I still cry. Her ashes are scattered in her favorite hiding place behind the water cistern where it was always cool. They are just s grateful and she was so willing to BE what I needed her to be, but she was also naturally smart, intelligent and compassionate.
